3 tability of -heterocyclic Carbenes p π p π C σ σ.... π-electron donation a 2 2 p z.. σ-electron withdrawal b 1 π-electron donation The energy of p π orbital is increased by the interaction with the symmetric combination of the substitutent lone pairs. Combined effect is to increase the σ p π gap and stablize the singlet-state carbene over the more reactive triplet-state carbene. Bertrand, Chem. ev. 2000, 100, 39
